I hate this capitalization thing. It never happened for ADELE as hard as they tried. Let it go.

Great song, terrible video.
I'm not 100% convinced this is going to smash just yet, but we'll see what happens. He certainly has the buzz around him right now, and the song quality is there. But I'm not convinced he actually wants to take off just yet. We'll see.

Song is alright, the video not so much. Should debut top 10 on the Hot 100, perhaps a chance for #1 too?

What a great top notch quality song and delivery by Zayn, just what pop charts need now, I mean Bieber makes also quality stuff, but his voice is quite weak compared to Malik. Excellent writing tambien, so Rihanna waited too long, number one might be out of her reach now.

I guess they play it safe for the lead single? I think the more "interesting" stuffs will come along with the album.

When he hits the high notes in the chorus he sounds a lot like Harry. Never noticed that before.

When he hits the high notes in the chorus he sounds a lot like Harry. Never noticed that before. Slightly less strain but that would explain why I could never pick Zayn out of that lineup, vocally. I believe that the lyric is My enemy, my ally. I have never heard Allah pronounced the way he pronounces ally, even with a British accent (which he doesn't have when singing). It would have been better had he said Allah though, just to get people all riled up. Anyway, I am obsessed with this song. I keep playing it on repeat, which is rare for me. Good job, Zayn! Edit: Just watched the video. Wot. Even stoned, I was like... ... .... some of the imagery was cool but the repeated shots of him and Hadid kissing? Obnoxious. The best part of the video was when he started crying black tears. Any video incorporating Zayn crying is a pseudo-win, in my book. It's like he's in on the joke. But homeboy had some SERIOUS good shit before he even signed on for that video.

I think the song would have more punch if he delivered some good adlibbing on the final chorus.

Okay so has the "my enemy, my ally" or "my enemy, my allah" debacle been solved yet The pronunciation and the antithesis of enemy/ally would make more sense, so I'm going with that one. (Also I'm pretty sure it was ally on the official lyrics? Right?)

I believe as much as some people would want it to be Allah, it's not. I actually think Zayn has more respect for his faith than to just invoke The Almighty's name in vain.
Also, back to the comment someone had made about him sounding like Harry...as much as I like this song, I don't think there is nothing in this vocal that Harry couldn't touch vocally, especially in the studio.

I know this song was safe, but did people really think Zayn's first roll out alone without 1D would a song about f**king bitches and hoes & rapping about spending bling bling? Look at Justin's roll out from NSync. It was "Like I Love You" which at the time was slammed by many as him trying to sound like Michael Jackson. Then "Justified" came out and silenced most of the critics when they heard the rest. I have no doubt it will happen the same with Zayn's album. Justin's first shot out of the gate wasn't "Sexyback", it came an album later. Zayn has the talent to grow that same way too.

Wow - how to demean an entire genre of music - RnB and Hip Hop is about more than f**king bitches and bling especially the 'unsafe' songs

RnB and Hip Hop is about more than f**king bitches and bling especially the 'unsafe' songs Barely, unless your name is Mariah Carey and a few select others. The males, especially most of the young ones, seem to fall into this trap...and people love them for it.

For the record, I'm pretty sure this song is all about fucking (and fighting) so...

It's ally. That's now how Allah is pronounced, and I highly doubt he'd bring in Allah into a song about sex.
